Fuel Physical Characteristics of Biodiesel Blend Fuels with Alcohol as Additives

Biodiesel and its alcohol blend fuels are considered as alternatives to current fossilized fuels. Their fuel physical characteristics are among the most important parameter to determine the quality of each fuel. Strict procedures are used in observation and measurement to obtain the flash point, vis...
